The general structure of a boronic acid, where R is a substituent. A boronic acid is an organic compound related to boric acid (B(OH) 3) in which one of the three hydroxyl groups (−OH) is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group (represented by R in the general formula R−B(OH) 2). [1]
The mechanism of organotrifluoroborate-based Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions has recently been investigated in detail. The organotrifluoroborate hydrolyses to the corresponding boronic acid in situ , so a boronic acid can be used in place of an organotrifluoroborate, as long as it is added slowly and carefully.
The reaction of boron trichloride with alcohols was reported in 1931, and was used to prepare dimethoxyboron chloride, B(OCH 3) 2 Cl. [3] Egon Wiberg and Wilhelm Ruschmann used it to prepare tetrahydroxydiboron by first introducing the boron–boron bond by reduction with sodium and then hydrolysing the resulting tetramethoxydiboron, B 2 (OCH 3) 4, to produce what they termed sub-boric acid.

Protodeboronation is a well-known undesired side reaction, and frequently associated with metal-catalysed coupling reactions that utilise boronic acids (see Suzuki reaction). [1] For a given boronic acid, the propensity to undergo protodeboronation is highly variable and dependent on various factors, such as the reaction conditions employed and ...
The reaction is much slower with ketones than aldehydes. [42] For example, in Nicolaou's epothilones synthesis, asymmetric allylboration (with an allylborane derived from chiral alpha-pinene) is the first step in a two-carbon homologation to acetogenin: [43] Trifluoroborate salts are stabler than boronic acids and selectively alkylate aldehydes ...
Boronic acids and esters are classified depending on the type of carbon group (R) directly bonded to boron, for example alkyl-, alkenyl-, alkynyl-, and aryl-boronic esters. The most common type of starting materials that incorporate boronic esters into organic compounds for transition metal catalyzed borylation reactions have the general ...
It reacts with acetylacetone in the presence of cesium carbonate to give 3-(4-bromophenylthio)pentane-2,4-dione. 4,4'-Dibromophenyl disulfide is also produced as the intermediate. [ 5 ] Like other thiols, it reacts with silver nitrate to produce silver 4-bromothiophenolate.
The Miyaura borylation has shown to work for: Alkyl halides, [2] aryl halides, [1] [3] [4] aryl halides using tetrahydroxydiboron, [5] aryl halides using bis-boronic acid, [6] aryl triflates, [7] aryl mesylates, [8] vinyl halides, [9] vinyl halides of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, [10] and vinyl triflates.
